No Garden For You!
Last night it rained over two inches under the explosions of big thunderstorms and it appears that it's too wet for gardening today. But after being cooped up for days with a cold, I decided to get out and about Camp Burning Toast to see what happening anyway.
With cats in tow. . .
I slogged around the pond through the sloppy mud and grass to find a dead turtle. Can turtles drown? He's an old guy, so I suspect that it was just his time to go. Before we arrived, a vulture was having a feast.
Bobcat was cautious.
And Wildcat seemed uninterested as he dried his paws on the back of my shirt.
We observed the excess water as is babbled from the pond and down into the creek system through the back 40.
But a little running water is nothing for young felines.
Bobcat will never be outdone by the new cat, an interloper in the standard of her kitty brain.
Wildcat had to one-up her though, as he checked out the bluebird house. Sorry Wildcat, it's a little early for the bluebirds. Give it another month.
Well, all seems well and good. I guess I didn't miss much in my Nyquil-induced hibernation. Sure can't wait to do some fishing though! I think it'll be a good year. Another 13 pound bass this year? Maybe, just maybe.

Another Nice Catch. . .
Here is another nice fish from the pond. It was caught using a top water plug similar to the Lucky 13 series from Heddon. This fish weighed a touch over six pounds on a very unreliable scale and the consensus was that it was probably heavier.
The man on the right is nicknamed "Bad Eye" because he is blind in one eye and strangely enough this does not prohibit him from operating a 32 meter Putzmeister concrete pump.
Not only is he half-blind, he is also clinically insane.
